Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. Why is it not legal? Can't have all steel. you can absolutely have all steel 4.3.1.4 states that metal plates must not be used exclusively and that one paper target or popper must be used.
  2. There were 2 stages in 2014 that were 27 rounds, other than that 24 has been the limit. Since this match is "The Single Stack Classic" it has always (normally) followed the tradition of stages being no more than 24 rounds. When the match and division were pitched, you needed a 1911, carry type holster and 3 magazines (hence the 24 round rule).
  3. Last call for Sectional Shirts... I will be putting in the order tomorrow afternoon.
  4. There are 2 spots left for all day Saturday. There is plenty of room for half day Saturday half day Sunday If there is enough interest I can make 1 more all day Saturday squad. I have to turn in the final shirt order on September 1 so if you want a shirt get them ordered ASAP Thanks Eric
  5. 160 total competitors, there are a couple of spots left for all day Saturday, plenty of room on the 2 day format. I will get the division count when I get the computer fired up tonight. Also, there is only 1 week left to order a shirt. I have to give the shirt company the final order September 1st!
  6. The Single Stack Classic, which is the match that created USPSA's single stack division, is all about tradition. The entire concept and the creation of the 1911 society was about everyone having the same gun (roughly) and equipment (carry type holsters) and only needing 3 mags to compete. That is why there are no more than 24 rounds per stage (3 mags). This match is a shooting contest, not a track meet; the stages are technical and all about execution. USPSA now uses the Single Stack Classic to decide their national champion, but still has no involvement with the match; the match is entirely designed, built and presented by the 1911 society. This year the stages were set up to lean more towards a 6 round option to see if more people would revert back to major in revolver. The focus was to make the major/minor decision very difficult for competitors in both matches of the "Classic Nationals"
  7. Match Hotel: Heritage Grand Inn 1150 E Linn St Canton, Il 61520 (309) 647-9675 Group rate code: USPSA IL Sectional The rooms should be $50-$65 plus tax on the group rate. Their continental breakfast is from 0530-1030. I have also arranged a 10% discount from one of the local restaraunts that opens at 0430, so if you want something more than the hotel breakfast they will be ready! American Grill 525 S 5th St Canton, IL 309-647-3613 I have also spoken with the owner of the local steakhouse Big Racks (no it is not like a Hooters, please spare them the jokes). He is an avid hunter and owns an elk heard, he is one of us. He is very excited to have our people and I will be finalizing a deal with him closer to the match when I have more accurate numbers on how many people we will be sending his way.
  8. The shirt company is still working on the design. We will post it as soon as they get the design finished. The shirts will be the nice dry wick tee shirts like the competitor shirts from Area 5 the last 2 years.
  9. You should be able to check out stages, there will probably be a lot of shooting going on until lunch time. We will give refunds and take shirt orders until Sept 1. No refunds or shirt orders after September 1, 2015!
  10. Yes, if you are on a Sat AM/Sun AM squad then you would shoot 6 positions each morning starting at 0800.
  11. OK folks, I spent the day in Canton IL, the match hotel will be there. I am still working with a couple of hotels to find the best deal and will post that information as soon as I have it all worked out. It is a short 20 minute drive, north of Havana up 78. Canton has many nice restaurants that have been very receptive to group discounts, I have worked out a few deals with them as well. More details to follow. Eric
  12. If your name shows up in the online squadding for the Illinois Sectional and you haven't received your PIN contact me either on FB or email ericgriggs@msn.com - I will get you your PIN. There is an issue with the website. USPSA's webmaster is working on it, but says it may be a week or so till they get it fixed. Thanks Eric
